Sigma 3D Printer is now open source

Hi,

I have been using the Sigma 3D printer for a year now and recently its creators decided to make it opensource. Here is the link to download plastic parts and the bill of materials:

They have given a link to my blog for assembly instructions (I was neglecting it for a while due to my busy schedule but this has given me incentive to update it (http://www.3dprinterblog.org/)

Here is the latest addition to the blog: [www.3dprinterblog.org]

Cool. And how do you like the Sigma?

I really like it and I think it is as good as any commercial FDM 3d printer out there print qualitywise. It can print with most of the filament types (including more exotic ones). There sure are things that can be improved and I hope the opensource community will be involved with it.
